David Grann's latest novel, "The Wager," is an extensively researched narrative that explores the dangers and acts of heroism within the British fleet during the 18th century. The British warship, "The Wager," is part of a fleet embarking on a mission to Cape Horn, chasing the Spanish with the goal of capturing a Spanish galleon filled with valuable treasures. This thrilling page-turner incorporates elements of a shipwreck, mutiny, and murder.

Grann takes meticulous care to cite numerous sources, ranging from the archives of the British Navy to novels penned by survivors of the calamity. The story vividly portrays the terrifying ordeal faced by the sailors as they struggle to survive in one of the world's most treacherous regions. Personally, the book's most captivating theme revolves around the effectiveness of warfare, encompassing its accompanying horrors and casualties.
